475 West 145th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031
The 5-story, 20-unit tenement building at 475 West 145th Street in Hamilton Heights, owned by Salvatore Davola and constructed in 1926, has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between April 2024 and June 2025, and recent inspections in June 2025 confirming continued rat activity. The building has ongoing water leak problems, with an open heavy flow leak complaint from May 2025 and previous leaks reported in both May 2025 and November 2024.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open as of July 2025, including a defective fire retardant material issue in the 4th-story public hall, and previous inspections have documented pest infestations affecting both 1st and 3rd-story apartments. The building's systems have also faced challenges, particularly regarding its boiler. Several complaints about boiler defects and inoperative conditions were filed between 2020 and 2025, with Oath violations served in 2020 and 2025 indicating compliance issues.
A 2021 inspection noted disrepair conditions in the interior stairwell walls and ceiling on the 4th floor, and earlier citations in 2018-2019 involved electrical system grounding issues. While the building has maintained a record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero confirmed infestations from 2021 to 2024, the ongoing issues with water leaks, pests, and heating systems suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The property has undergone multiple rodent control efforts, with bait applications documented throughout 2024 and into 2025, though inspections continue to reveal rat activity.
